Chord Pro:
D G D G
Boy threw his guitar down and started beating his brow, no matter how hard
D A
he tried he couldn't justify,
D G D G
All that wasted time, spent inventing words and rhyme, as the stars and the
D A D
planets and the clock did laps.
D G D
You see making up songs is for losers, I should build something she uses, like a
G D A
box or a bed or cupboards or shelves.
D G D G
Cause songs are made of air, they can't be any use to her, better off trying to
A D
catch falling aeroplanes.
D G D
Then girl said boy don't be so stupid, boy don't be so daft, you're not even right
A
by half. And although you say your songs are fundamentally air, there's also
thousands of vibrations that stimulate the ear in such a way that every time I hear
D G D G
them, they always make me smile, they're just as tactile as a box or a bed or
D A D G D
cupboards or shelves, so boy now stop your moping, your cursing and no-hoping
G A D
and get back in the saddle.
D G D
While she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar.
G D
His head was swimming in the alphabet, soup letters swirled and words formed,
in his heart. He said
D G D G
I'm going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your
A D G D G
words inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody as the stars
A D
and the planets and the clock do laps.
D G D G
And so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to
A D
find him finally asleep.
This is a pretty simplified, one person playing, version of the song, but it still
sounds good.
